Your doctor has chosen to apply OASIS® Wound Matrix to help manage your wound. OASIS® Wound Matrix is made of a naturally derived material (porcine or pig source) that provides an important structure for your wound. With the proper structure and environment, the body's natural healing process can begin. For best results, always follow all your doctor's directions.
